actually, i've taken to recently using the term "retard" because people find it upsetting.

five years ago, i would have suggested it was crass - but the reaction against it has become so absurd, that i've decided to regularly say it just to piss people off.

so, my position is that that kind of censorship is regressive and needs to be reacted against, basically.

i'd apologize to all the actual retards out there, but they wouldn't understand, anyways.
